FAMILIARISATION
MONITORING
Tyre under-inflation detection
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is a driving aid which informs you
of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver.
Economy mode
After switching off the engine, some sys-tems (radio, wipers, electric windows,
opening roof, electric seats, telephone,
video, interior lighting, motorised tail-
gate, etc.) are supplied electrically for a
maximum of no more than around one
hour, so as to avoid discharging the
battery.
This period may be reduced considerably
if the battery’s state of charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message is
displayed in the instrument panel screen
and the active functions are placed on
standby.
These functions will be automatically
reactivated when the vehicle is restarted.

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the sunshine sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
and rear foglamps when they are
no longer needed.
Lighting left on
When a front door is opened with
the ignition off and in manual ligh-
ting mode, an audible signal warns
the driver if the vehicle's lighting is
still on.
In this case, switching off the ligh-
ting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into, have
the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag in-
fl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this pur-
pose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITROËN dealer (see "Practical infor-
mation - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
seat backs (clothing...). This could
cause injury to the chest or arms if
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is de-
ployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not re-
move the grab handles installed on
the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the en-
gine using another battery.
Access to the battery
V6 HDi engine
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interi-
or release lever, then the exterior
safety catch,
)
secure the bonnet stay,
)
remove the plastic cover to gain
access to the two terminals,
)

battery, if necessary.
The battery is located in the boot under
the left-hand wing trim.
For access to it:
)

battery.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.
After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).
